Product Description
Simpson HST5 Heavy Strap Tie by Simpson is a heavy, load-rated, precut strap engineered to support heavy, concentrated loads by creating a strong connection between wood girders and piles. Built from thick 7-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this structural strap tie is designed to resist wind and seismic forces, making it a dependable choice for demanding pile-to-girder connections and other heavy-duty structural applications.
Key Features
- Installs with machine bolts - enables a secure, hardware-driven connection that holds up under heavy structural loads without relying on nails alone
- Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - engineered for structurally demanding applications where lateral and uplift loads are a real concern
- 5 in. width - broad bearing surface distributes concentrated loads effectively across wood girders and piles
- 21-1/4 in. length - provides ample strap coverage to achieve a strong, balanced connection across joined members
- Made from 7-gauge steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the load capacity needed for large timber and pile connections
- Galvanized G90 coating - zinc galvanizing provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in exposed or moisture-prone environments
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for girder-to-pile connections - unlike general-purpose straps, this heavy strap tie is specifically designed to handle the concentrated loads found where wood girders meet piles, giving structural professionals a connector matched to the task
- Heavy-gauge steel for serious structural demands - the 7-gauge steel construction means this strap tie is suited for load-bearing applications where lighter connectors would fall short
- Precut and load-rated for predictable performance - arriving precut and carry a load rating, this strap eliminates guesswork and supports code-compliant, engineered connections
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 zinc galvanized coating protects the connector in the kinds of exposed, outdoor, or high-moisture environments where pile-and-girder structures are commonly found
